Hi Centaur! Great to hear from you!

Regarding the change, I think a lot of people have no clue how quickly things can and will change. I am planning a series of posts on what is coming down the pike in a few years not decades. But there is a lot of material to get through.

The tricky bit is that all this technological progress has unintended consequences:
a big obvious one everyone is afraid of is job destruction, but probably there are going to be a lot of new jobs created (potentially more).

I think there is too much attention paid to the downsides and not enough to the upside which is massive!

The only thing that is certain that everything will be different!
I fully agree that the creation of Steemit.com is potentially hugely profound

Regarding the re-steem, fully agree that sometimes it is not obvious why someone is re-steeming, there is a bit too much importance put on upvotes currently! I hope comments will weight much moer in the future to remedy the system gaming, but over all I see good things happening with Steemit.com!
